Letters: Grave depravity

Regarding the recent article by Anthony Kries on same-sex marriage in the Jan. 12 Democrat, the fact that some homosexuals are having sex does not make it moral. We should not advocate immoral sex any more than we should advocate stealing.

Sacred Scripture presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity. That is why God destroyed the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Bible tells us. Tradition has always declared that sex between men is contrary to the natural law.

Moral sex has always applied to men and women who are married to each other. It still does. Passing a law to the contrary does not make it moral.
